When is a drug not a drug?

When it’s a leaf!

arnie-drug True LiesThe governor of California says marijuana is not a drug, a British magazine reported today.

Arnold Schwarzenegger told the British edition of GQ magazine that he had not taken drugs.

The former bodybuilder and Hollywood star has acknowledged using marijuana in the 1970s and was shown smoking a joint in the 1977 documentary Pumping Iron.

“That is not a drug. It’s a leaf,” Schwarzenegger told GQ.

“My drug was pumping iron, trust me,” he added.

Coming soon: It’s not a drug. It’s a powder.

Update: Having said that, Arnie is vehemently opposed to lighting too many leaves.
